Tunable infra-red down-conversion in silver thiogallate

A ruby laser beam mixed in AgGaS<sub>2</sub> with the output of various ruby-pumped dye lasers has provided downconverted infrared radiation tuned from 4.6 to 12µm. The measured phase-matching angles agree well with calculated values. Peak infrared powers of a few hundred milliwatts have...

Summary:A ruby laser beam mixed in AgGaS<sub>2</sub> with the output of various ruby-pumped dye lasers has provided downconverted infrared radiation tuned from 4.6 to 12µm. The measured phase-matching angles agree well with calculated values. Peak infrared powers of a few hundred milliwatts have been produced.
